Oktoberfest 2018

9/28/2018

Oktoberfest is here, and Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area is happy to be part of the festivities. Thursday evening we were able to take part in the Torchlight Parade.

​Our float theme this year is “Building Sustainable Communities.” To fit this theme, we designed a small community to fit our float. Our community includes a community center, a grocery store, a post office and of course a home, the center of our work here at Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area. We are also featuring the Woofs and Roofs doghouses designed for our competition earlier this year. These will be available for auction soon, so be on the lookout.

​In designing our float and planning for the parades this year, we partnered with the Coulee Region Humane Society and La Crosse Urban Stormwater Group. This allowed us to have extra help from two-legged and four-legged friends. 

The Stormwater Group provided the greenery for our community. Plants, trees and water cleanliness are a vital part of every community, and Habitat is committed to environmentally friendly homebuilding and reusing.
​
Most of those who walked along with our staff and the Stormwater Group were partner families and their friends. This meant we had tons of little hands to pass out candy. It is so nice to see our Habitat families being so involved in our community activities!

Our float also served to announce our upcoming Raise the Roof concert, which will be held Saturday, January 12. Look out for more details soon, and mark your calendars in the meantime.
​
We had a great time at the Torchlight Parade, and we are thrilled to be in the Maple Leaf Parade tomorrow. Look out for our float, and enjoy Oktoberfest!
